When it rains, it pours. Thanks to our readers, in particular Matthew S, for sharing all the info and photos on the release of these four new vintages of some Kirkland wine classics.
We are hitting the store tonight to see which ones we can find. (UPDATE: we found the Brunello and it's a big time winner.)
First up, we have the 2024 vintage of the Kirkland Margaux Bordeaux. This is a big one because the 2023 vintage was the first one ever. Always nice to see it returning, 92 points from us the first time around. Hoping for big things once again.
Next is the 2020 vintage of the Kirkland Ribera Del Duero. This bottle remains a mystery, sometimes we see a vintage, other years we don't. Sometimes it takes a hiatus for a bit. Last vintage was the 2018 which came and went fast in select stores. Fingers crossed we can find this one (and you as well).
The Kirkland Brunello is always a highly anticipated release, and we have the 2021 vintage hitting Costco shelves now. Price is $21.79, up a smidge from the prior $19.99.
And finally, rounding out our list of new wines is the 2023 vintage of the Kirkland Gran Selezione Chianti Classico. The last time we saw this one was the 2021 vintage, so perhaps it skipped a year? Hard to say. Always a favorite for us and readers, the price actually went down to $17.99 from $18.99.
You can count on us trying to track these down to taste and review as soon as we can. Happy hunting. Cheers.

Ribera del Duero flew off the shelves in my store, luckily I was able to get a case at a nearby Costco

The label for the Kirkland Ribera Del Duero shows the listed price as $16.89. It's $21.89 at the Yorba Linda CA store. I don't understand the $5 difference in price.
